[RIGHT IN SEATTLE]

Upstae NY can be attractive...........

If you are an Eskimo!

I left Rochester, NY. in 1998. The economy, snow, taxes, draconian gun laws, a Mayor blaming ctime on everthing else but the perp, my ex-Rep. in Congress-- the filthy Louise Slaughter, George Pataki the Govenor flipped like a pole shift and the limosine liberal were just too much to take.

Good riddance NY State.

Upstae=Upstate, sorry

[Revelation 911]

If you are an Eskimo!

you refer of course to the 9 mos winter, month and a half of spring (rain), 1 week of summer (100 degrees @ 100% humidity), & a month and a half of autumn (50mph nonstop winds)

It grows on you like a migrane

The chicken wings, apples, venison and Fall (in grape country) are the only things that keep me

.......and youre right about the mayor

I left Rochester, NY in 2001. The economy, snow, taxes, draconian gun laws, a Mayor blaming crime on everthing else but the perp, my ex-Rep. in Congress-- the filthy Louise Slaughter -- and the final straw was when Clinton was coronated.

"I left Rochester, NY. in 1998."

I moved to Rochester in 1971 and left after 1 year. I found the area to be pretty but the people......woof. What a bunch of wierdos. My college grad neighbor kept telling me how much higher the mountains in NY were than those "sand" hills in Arizona? Even after showing her a map with elevations shown, she would not believe AZ was other than sand and wild indians.

She had never been west of Eire, PA and had no desire to see the world. And she was not unique.

One year was enough for me.

Talk about "out of the frying pan..."
